To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

"Hull BreacH" becomes "Drift Into Eternity".

 

160511105100986895.png

 

It was unanimously (minus one vote) that the team of We Are Bots Studio chose to rename our beloved game into «Drift Into Eternity».

 

This new name will not only avoid any confusion with Hull Breach — the card game by our friends at NSBG (Not-So-Broken Game), with which, by the way, we still hope to collaborate in the near future to raise high the flag of awesome science-fiction games!

 

But it's also a title that fits pretty well with our intentions with this science-fiction game: designing a game in which you have to struggle for your survival, locked up in a distressed spaceship, drifting for eternity into the cold vastness of space.

And finally, we've all fallen in love with the acronym of our new title «Drift Into Eternity» wich is D.I.E. Could we dream for more suitable acronym for a survival game?

 

Anyway, we hope you will like this new title as much as we do, as well as its acronym,  don't hesitate giving us your opinions on them both and giving us your feedback on the game.

And never forget... In D.I.E.... Death is not the end!

Thank you to all future survivors for your unconditional support.

 

Best regards,

WE ARE BOTS STUDIO

I haven't played the newer demo yet, but I really like this body scanner concept. In what ways can this be used or help you in the game?

Hi DarkOne, thanks for your interest & feedback !

 

In infirmary room you can find two useful machines: "Body Scanner" and "Medpod".

 

Body Scanner allows full body scan with a comprehensive reading of the afflictions which the patient suffers (What type of illness or injury you suffer).

Instead of trying to take medicines randomly, it allows you to use the right treatment. All new diseases & injuries are "Unknow" at the beginning.

 

16053011473244745.png

 

Medpod is an individual cell wich give basic care. Allows to slightly regress injuries and disease. Cant not cure an "Unknow" disease !

 

 

 

Thank you to all future survivors for your unconditional support.

BIM BAM BOOM!

Drift Into Eternity is now ranked fourth in the competition IndieofTheWeek. So we are on the podium in the Hall of Fame: http://indieoftheweek.eu/BotsWeAre

- Added particle and changed material of Acrycine Remover FX

160802122659597508.png

 

- If a room is on fire AND has more than 1 open breach, the temperature will not drop down. Instead, the temperature will just rise slower because it was disturbing to have a fire with negative temperature

- Acrycine fog will disappear progressively when it's cleaned (it will wait for all particles to die before desactivating the FX)

- Post process begins. Version 1 is already integrated. Lot more to come. (Deph of field, Bloom, Camera Focus, Lens Flare, Lens Dirt) PLUGIN SCION ( https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/41369 )

 

- New Dropdown menu option for screen resolutions.

160802122704506190.png

 

- New main menu music. There is something very special about it. Can you guess what? Like the procedural generation of the ship based on fixed locations, our music has been composed by an artifical intelligence (Emily Howell musical computer program) inspired by an already existing music : The Beethoven Moonlight Sonata.

 

 

 

Change :

 

- Inventory UI now has a scale animation for opening and closing

- When a container becomes empty, its emissive will fade progressively instead of instantly.

160802122702204179.png

 

- Bodyscanners screens are saved and loaded.

160802122704259803.png

 

- Objects that can be used once per day will no longer be usable twice when you have two of them.

- Music will occlude more intensively, so you won't be able to hear it through walls (or at least it won't feel the same)

160802122703971623.png

I think you have done such a excellent job on the visuals for that HUD from your glove and the layout of it is very simplistic but very informative at the same time. And the presence of your breath because its cold nice touch 🙂 You guys are building a solid game here

Patch note 0.96: Leaderboard System

 
Additions :
 
- Leaderboard system*: At the end of each game you can save your score. The longer you will survive, the better your ranking will be. Every day, every hour, every minute is important to win a place in the top.
160824011405483592.png
 
You can find the leaderboard panel in the starting booth and in the communications room.
16082401140767297.png
 
There is 3 buttons under each leaderboards that can filter the scores as you wish (friends only / Timespan / Character). The last 2 buttons will be functional soon.
160824011406833624.png
 
*Leaderboards : Because of the anti-cheat protection, only scores made after this update will be valid. Old scores are deleted from the Steam Stats. You can still load an old save and die again to submit score again.
 
 
Improvements :
 
- New FX in the inventory. Now, when an item is used, a "refresh" hologram FX will be played.
l0MYr7KYv6SzVVUC4.gif

The pipes added a nice touch, just make sure you don't go crazy with them 🙂 Will players be able to interact with the pipes (ie: fix leaks or actually break pipes)?

I've seen Jim Sterling play this game. I actually liked the whole premise a lot. Gameplay looks like fun. Good job on the game so far, I'm quite interested to give it a go myself. 🙂
